The impact of the 'Big Brother' 1,000th episode twist will be revealed on tonight's episode, Sunday, Aug. 30.
Week 8 of 'Big Brother' Season 28 will start off with a bang tonight as viewers will see, for the first time, how the new twist impacts the game, as the'Big Brother' live feeds were cut off for the weekend.
Mallory Aurichio was evicted in a 6-to-2 vote last week during Dee Valladares' Week 7 HOH, leaving only 10 houseguests remaining in the game. After her eviction, 'Big Brother' host Julie Chen Moonves revealed the special 1,000th episode twist that suspends the traditional layout of the game, eliminating the Head of Household competition, the Power of Veto competition and the BB Blockbuster competition.
The other part of the twist was
that one houseguest will be evicted from the game before the Week 8 live eviction this Thursday. With no Head of Household competition tonight, we will see how this new twist will impact the game, and possibly who goes home because of it.
Whose game will come to an end because of the new twist, and who will be at risk for Thursday's Week 8 live eviction?

What is the 'Big Brother' 1,000th episode twist?
Thursday, Aug. 27, was the special 'Big Brother' 1,000th episode, which uncovered a major twist heading into the end of the season.
'Big Brother' host Julie Chen Moonves revealed three major changes that could impact both the houseguests and the viewers of the show.
The 1,000th episode celebration started with the announcement of a new medieval-themed twist that suspends the traditional layout of the game, eliminating the Head of Household competition, the Power of Veto competition and the BB Blockbuster competition. This twist, according to Julie, will impact which remaining houseguests could potentially make the jury as she announced that one houseguest will be evicted before the Week 8 eviction, meaning two houseguests will leave the game next week.
